Murdered Soul suspect 2.50 euro is it playable on my low end gpu

quinnd6

Murdered soul suspect is on square enix store at 2.50.
Would it playable at 720p on radeon 6670 1gb ddr3, 4gb ddr3 ram?
My processor is a core i5 2500k which will be enough.

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri check here, it's been reasonably accurate for me. Needs to install a thingy if you want it to auto scan your system, so beware the risks of allowing higher than standard access to your computer by websites and all that...

Yes it will work, at what settings you'll have to see, but the 6670 has the basic grunt required to run the game above minimum settings.

You could do with a graphics card update with those specs, seems a waste to pair a 6670 with a 2500K, even a 100 euro GTX750 would be a titanic upgrade.

Yes I was thinking of upgrading but the problem is a lot of games that have come out lately are terribly badly optimised.
A gtx 750 can't play Assassins creed Unity with any stability and a 750 ti even would probably struggle with it.
I know Dying Light is very badly optimised too and a 750ti won't keep it above 30fps.
A 750ti is also below minimum specs for the Witcher 3 which is ridiculous as the card is only out just over a year.
In order to get a gpu that would keep up with the latest games I'm afraid I would have to also upgrade the psu and not to mention the ram aswell so at that stage It'd be about 300 euros and if I was going to spend that much I'd be better off buying a console which is guaranteed to be able to play the latest games for a few years as games are optimised for it.
Developers don't seem to give a damn about optimising games properly for pc anymore which is a massive shame.

You're not wrong there, but you have to remember that those games are horrifically optimized ports and not representative of most games, for example, the GTX750 non-ti can play Battlefield 4 and BF Hardline at 1080p high settings, which is stellar performance for a 100 euro card - and at those settings, both games look much better than their console counterparts.

Games like Dying Light and Unity are perfect examples of poor ports that test even high-end cards, totally at odds with the actual quality of the game. Such is the reality of PC Gaming, unfortunately.

I played BF Hardline on my Xbox One recently, and although it plays fine, visually it's very sub-par, even noticably compared to my 2nd PC with a a 560Ti (same as GTX750Ti).

Unless you have a sub 350w power supply, you're fine for upgrades to higher end cards such as GTX960 and beyond.

4GB is actually still OK for most games, though even 6GB would help a lot.

I dont think any card( or system ) plays Unity well so i would ignore that one. 750Ti is a pretty low end card in the mid range tier and sells for around 150euro.
Dying Light averages 27FPS @ best quality hith HBAO+ disabled - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/dying_light_vga_graphics_performance_review,8.html
Thats pretty good as the settings are well above what consoles achieve and the FPS is similar, crank down the settings and the FPS will increase so with console settings you'd be getting 45FPS+ instead of ~30.
The Witcher 3 will be a beast of a game as Witcher 2 was when it launched.
Minimum requirements for Witcher 3 is an Nvidia 660 and theres very little performance difference between it and a 750Ti, the 750Ti is ~10% slower which will be negated it you overclock the 750Ti.

You have a very good CPU( and more than likely a decent mobo ), so you have the bones of having a very powerful PC.
Spending money on a decent PSU so your system can handle additional power requirements is a very worthwhile investment considering you'll easily get 7-10 years out of a good PSU and most have 5 year warranties.
I usually spend a lot of money on a decent case, psu, monitor simply because they will last so long( at least 1.5 generations of consoles ), my centre monitor is 10 years old and still going strong, i still have a 10 year old case and 7 year old PSU( i ended up getting a new case 2 years ago as i have about 10HDs in my system now ).

Im also still rocking my 6 year old i7 rig but im using a 780Ti with it, i play most things maxed and just finished Bioshock infinite playing on 3 monitors @ 5040x1050 and getting 45-60FPS with the game nigh on maxed out.

Point is investing in PC gaming neednt cost a fortune, if you have good base components you can have a mega system that doesnt cost a fortune.

You'd be mental to buy a console when you're only a good graphics card away from a PC that'll handle pretty much everything that gets thrown at it for the next 3 years.

plus the games are a hell of a lot cheaper on PC, backwards compatible, visually better, better FPS, mods and its a regular PC so can do regular PC stuff .

Of all the console generations the current one is the least appealing to me, i normally have a console and PC to play the exclusives but theyre few and far between at the moment and theyre basically PC's so other than the vram difference at the moment ports "should" be better.

yeah the only reason I might buy a console is for the exclusives especially the PS ones, but I will wait a few years more and buy them cheap or 2nd hand
